My old Parker Frontier is having problem.The ink does not flow anymore.So, I took it my friend Nazley,who is a pen collector and he knows how to do some 'mechanic' work.He helped me to clean up my Parker using ultrasonic device and now my old parker is okay.Thanks Nazley.
I share his enthusiasm in collecting good looking and well engineered fountain pen.Today,he showed me the mechanic of how the ink flows properly in the right quantity and explained a few pen terminologies like GP,CT,GT etc.
After using fountain pen for more than 40 years,I discovered that there is a ball bearing in the fountain pen and its function!
wow.. that's an amazing feat.. parker frontier.. :D ahahaha that's very good news pak adib..
:) thus again, Allah helps us by having our friends close by.

Hilmi,
Old pens are just like old freinds.We tend to use more of the new pens than the old ones because of their novelty being new.We must take care of old friends because most of them are there for years with you but we never know with new friends-they come and they go.
I thank God for the good friends I have around me.

Salam Pak Adib.
Speaking of friends, i remembered a quotation my teacher used to share with me.
" Make new friends, Keep Old friends.
One is Silver. One is Gold.
And time will refine them. "
:) i cant really think of the exact words because it was given to me by my somewhat mentor in language a few years back.
